Shoreditch Top 5 (i.e. hipsterhood in East London)

1. The Boundary. With a comprehensive and reasonably priced wine list in the basement bar (about 80 wines for under £35 offered from a list of 500) and even more friendly and knowledgeable sommeliers, it's divine! Along with a lovely rooftop view for a romantic drink, to brunch at the Albion cafe - it's one of my favorite places in London.

3. the Aubin Cinema. Tiny cinema tucked away in the basement of the Aubin & Will's building. You can curl up in a plush, velvety armchair, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and enjoy your beverage of choice while watching a new release with only about 30 other people. Twin couches too if you want to snuggle with your sweetie while watching a film.

about me

I am a true southern belle from Alabama, with time spent in Houston, Portland, and Atlanta before seeking love, adventure and tube friendly footwear in London. I've spent the last three years adapting to all things British including Victorian plumbing, the value of wellies and a new found acceptance of full fat dairy products. A romantic idealist with the soul of an adventurer, an art & history geek, and an adoration of all things vintage, I count among my idols My mom(s), best friends, Elizabeth Taylor and Auntie Mame.
